Back to finish off that forgotten high school project - from 1986
In between thinking sessions of the next step in the chair rebuild, matching footstool, wife's Xmas present (jewellery box), another box, a Celtic knot candle, reconditioning a no.4 Stanley plane from the 50's/60's, rehandling a no.5 Stanley plane, making a gift for a friend, and testing out a new hinge drilling jig I have made, I decided that I didn't have enough on my plate so whilst in the throws of garage box diving on the weekend I found my Junior Industrial Arts project. A brass cannon. As you can see it has 20 years of tarnish which I hope to retain unless I get over zealous and buff it all back out to a beaming shine. Anyway I was never happy with the cart so I may remake with something a bit more authentic with brass strips over the pivots, wheels, chocks etc. anyway this is Dicky boys year end project that never made it to marking.

its solid brass so probably a bit soft. When I was younger and had access to gunpowder via the odd firecracker that I hadn't turned into a bunger, I'd often thought about drilling a fuse hole and firing it, but was more concerned with the loss of my good looking cannon, if it blew up instead of worked.
